I must have been 8 or 9 years old when "The Bold Ones" first premiered. The fact that the show aired on NBC Sunday nights at 10:00 meant that I should have been asleep for school the next day.
It is ironic that the world's most successful democracy has produced only three good Television shows about democracy. In 1964 and 1965, Richard Crenna starred in the highly praised Slattery's People,about the minority leader of a state legislature.
What show in 1971 had the dialogue of the Senator, the intricate character development, the camera panning in and out for dramatic effect and, most importantly, Hal Holbrook and Michael Tolan? Nothing, nothing close.
Forty-five year old Hal Holbrook played Senator Hays Stowe with great style, grace, and intelligence. It was a stunning series performance.
